In sintesi

The snowpack is generally stable and the avalanche danger is LOW this morning. With strong sunshine and daytime warming, the danger could rise to MODERATE as the snow dampens. Stay off of and well away from overhanging cornices as they may break back much further than expected.

As always, practice safe travel protocols by exposing only one person at a time in avalanche terrain.

    The snowpack is generally stable this morning and natural and human-triggered avalanches are unlikely. I am hoping the northwesterly flow, light to moderate winds, and not-boiling temperatures will help keep wet activity in check today. But, the sun is strong and mountain temperatures did not get below freezing last night. If you start sinking into saturated snow above your ankles, it is time to move to a cooler aspect, elevation, or lower-angle terrain. Rollerballs and pinwheels are sure signs the snow is losing stability.

    *Cornices are starting to calve off with the warm temperatures - stay off of and well away from overhanging cornices as they may break back further than expected.
